Meta's Muse 'free 100M tokens a week' claim: read vs. transact is the question that matters
sujingshen · x · 2026-09-24
Reacting to the unverified claim that Meta's Muse will give away 100M tokens weekly plus a dedicated VM, sujingshen argues the real questions aren't quota size but: does 'free' cover reads/thinking only or writes and transactions too; can transaction commission be switched off separately; who bears liability when a write action goes wrong; and do your vetoed transaction paths stay vetoed after quota refresh. His checklist: free tier scope, independent commission switch, liability ordering, veto persistence. 'Tokens can be free without the transaction ledger being yours.'
